= 6 + 6 (x – 2)
? x ³ - 6 x (x – 2) – 8 = 6 + 6 (x – 2)
or x³ - 6 x ² + 12 x – 8 = 6 + 6 (x – 2)
or x ³ - 6 x² + 6 x = 2
? answer is (2)
2. 3 imaginary roots always occur in pairs, ie if 5+3i is one of the roots then the other roots is
5-3i.
3. 1 if we expand it, each term except last one ?1?31 will have 7 as a factor, so the required
remainder is 1.

sum of two prime numbers is always even, except when one of the two prime number is
2. in choice (3) the sum is 51, an odd number.
51=2+49 which is not prime, so our choice is (3).
8. 3 from c, required number might be 16,25,36,49,64,81.
from a, the numbers in which y is a multiple of 3 are 16,36, and 49.
the number in which x is a multiple of 2 are 25, 49, 64 and 81.
49 fulfils the conditions (a) and (c).
9. 1 here x=even, y=odd, z=prime
as z has to be a prime no. it can only be 2, 3, 5,7 out of which only 5 occurs in perfect
squares which is always followed by 2 in that case y would become even hence [1].
10. 4 first we will have to find number of revolutions made by t1, t2, t3 and t4. then we can
find the ratio of circumference (circumference=
no.of revolutions
36
)
ratio of radius =ratio of circumference. we have
t1-t2=3….(1)
t2-t3=3….(2)
t3-t4=2….(3)
t1-t4=8….(4)
can we solve these equations?
we can ‘t solve these equations ; so our answer is(4): data inadequate.
note: since in the first look we see that there are four equations and four unknown, so
they should get solved. but equation (1)+(2)+(3) gives the same equation as (4). so in
reality they are only three equations and not four.
11. 1 nx - n is divisible by x if x is a prime no.
12. 3 a, b and c are from 2, 3, 5, 7. as ab and bc are prime numbers, b and c can’t be 2 or 5.
thus the possible numbers can be 37 or 73.
now in the first position, we can put either 5 or 2. we find two nos. which satisfy the
condition: 537 and 237
thus sum of digits = 12 or 15

18. 2 before 5th instruction, car has traveled for 80? 5=60? 5=700km.
to cover 1020 - 700= 320km, the instruction w(a, 4) is correct.
19. 1 before 2nd instruction, the car has covered a distance of 6? 60=360 km. in the last
instruction it has covered 5? 80=400km. the rest 1000-(360=400)=240km will be covered
by instruction
20. 1 it is clear that the person makes 8 rounds (as other possible numbers between 6 and 10 do
not divide 2560 exactly)
? length of one round=2560 ? 8=320m

24. 2 clearly, the equation is of the form x-y+1=0
because if we put x=0 we get y=1 and if we put y=0 we get x=-1
note: to make our calculation easier we take the line x-y+1=0 although the coefficients of
x and y may be different.
25. 4 the line is: x-y+1=0
26. 1 the line is: x=y+1=0

29 - 30: we can solve these questions by taking rs x as the total contributions, getting equations
and solving them. but save time we should move from the given choice in q.85. rs. 156
as total contributions satisfies the stage when they give some amount in decimals.

36. 3 calculate interest at 1% (neglecting paise)
interest on 28 feb=rs30

? total interest =30+50+90=rs170
? rate of interest is nearly 1%
37. 2 interest paid by private bank=425-171
=253.
if we calculated total interest at 1%(neglecting paise) we get 40+60+111=rs211.
which is much less than rs rs253.
now, we calculated total interest at 1.5% (neglecting paise).
we get 60+90+165=rs315, which is much higher than rs 253.
? rate is between 1% and 1.4% ? our answer is (2)

in august 2001, there are eight dates (2,8,12,14,18,24,30) which can’t be found in any of
the above series.
note: the dates should be such that when we subtract i, they should not be divisible by 2,3,4,5
or 6. clearly, these days should be one more than the prime number. so look for such
dates which are just one more than prime numbers 9 except 2,3 and 5).

? ahmadia fort was built in 1868 (1). dalhouseie fort was built in 1908 (the only one
exactly 40 years later, (2), which makes ahmadia fort the one over yamuna river
(1868,2) and the fort at chittore builtin 1925(2).
? the one built in 1855 is not tughlaq fort (5), or presidency fort(3), so it’s akola fort. the
fort built in 1925 isn’t presidency fort (3), so it’s tughlaq fort, which is then the fort at
chittore (above), and presidency fort was built in 1865. so in the first over durg was
built in 1855 (3).
? the fort at cahndigarh wasn’t built in 1855 or 1865(30, or 1868 (1), or 1925 (cittore,
above), so was built in 1908. the fort over onkaresh river (wardha, 4) wasn’t built in
1925 (cittore, above) or 1908 (chandigarh, above), so it was built in 1865. the fort over
sindhu durg wasn’t built in 1925 9taghulaq fort,5), so it was built in 1908, and the fort
over gomati river was built in 1925.
summary of the above explanation is:
? ahmadia fort, badayun, 1868, yamuna river
? tughlaq fort, chittore, 925, gomati river
? dalhouse fort, chandigarh, 1908, sindhu durg
? presidency fort, wardhna, 1865, onkaresh river
? akhola fort, punjab, 1855, durg.

a must see at least one block hat, or she would know that her hat is black since they are
not all white. b also must see at least one block hat, and further, that hat had to be on c,
otherwise she would know that her was black (since she known s a saw at least one
block hat). so c knows that her hat is black, without even seeing the other’s hats.
